Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had side effects from the tablet Paxlovid prescribed to me for COVID-19. I have systemic itching at a severe level. I have gone to the doctor, talked to pharmacists, and even been to the ER. I have been given Prednisone shots, Allegra, Zyrtec, Prednisone tablets, Omeprazole, Hydrocortisone cream, and Sarna analgesic lotion, but nothing works. I have been told to be on 1.67 fl oz of Benadryl for three days until all the medicine is out of my system and I can improve. I am now experimenting with plantain tincture, honey, oatmeal baths, apple cider vinegar, cold therapy, and Lidocaine products. The only thing that it brings temporary relief from is extreme cold. But that lasts for about five minutes during the exposure to the cold. I am going crazy. I walk barefoot at night on the hard, frozen snow and ice, trying to relieve the itching on my feet. I cannot sit down because the itching on my feet is too intense. Do you have any recommendations for me to try?

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Based on your query, I suggest you use the following homeopathic medicine mentioned below.

1. Antimonium Crudum dosage would be five drops of the liquid medicine mixed with five teaspoonfuls of water in a porcelain cup and taken as a single dose, both in the morning and evening.

2. Rhus Toxicodendron dosage would be five drops of the liquid medicine mixed with five teaspoonfuls of water and taken once daily, preferably in the daytime.

Maintain 30 minutes gap between other medications you are taking. Follow the above medication and keep me posted in five days for further follow-up support. Consult a specialist doctor and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have noted the conditions of your health. It is suggested to continue with the same sets of medication for further five days and update me after that. And if there are any other issues, mention the same along with the update.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
